Description
Including its castaway islands, Australia's perimeter stretches for nearly 60,000km β enough to lap the equator one and a half times. Of this tally, 94 per cent of the coast rolls wild and free, barely altered by humankind.
Enjoy this pictorial voyage around its shores, bays, harbours and beneath its waves, and discover why Australia is a nation of beachlovers.
Australia's Coast by Australian Geographic offers an insightful and visual journey into the country's stunning coastal landscapes.
